What an achievement. The race was for most of the 8 months totally ignored by the South African media. Congratulations, Kirsten. You mad an old man cry of joy. So very little here to be proud of.
I will remember following this race and Kirsten winning for the rest of my life! What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations to Kirsten and her team!!!
Honestly. This makes a joke of the former Volvo race. This is actually what voyaging is all about. Versus fragile boats that can go fast and break apart in moderate conditions. What an awesome accomplishment. Kudos as well to the GCR organization to staging a real race.
You'd think the feminists would be squealing from the rooftops, why do us sailors provide the only aww, respect and admiration she gets ? This woman is the most amazing person I've heard about all year
This win by KN I believe is a landmark in many ways for the GGR. I wonder if Don and wife Jan ever thought that this creature called the GGR that he resurrected after a 50-year hiatus will become the huge event it is today and appears to grow beyond his own control as more and more sailors are attracted to the original idea of unescorted nonstop solo sailing around the world using only the technology and hull design of the times circa 1960s. While Kirsten won the "race" according to the rules, which is a huge example of sailing seamanship, something has to be said about Simon C's equally amazing feat of stopping to repair his own boat alone hundreds of miles out of the course route (which disqualifies his boat) and by his own amazing feat of seamanship he catches up to the leaders in this race and in real time is the first boat across the line. If anything is certain, the used boat prices for the Cape George, Biscay 36, Rustlers, will dramatically increase in resale value, not withstanding the fine-tuning to standard specs that each entrant made.
Congratulations!! The anchor windlass is still mounted on the bow. She stated before the start that she might remove it for the race, but it made the circumnavigation on deck.
Congratulations Kirstin. You make us proud here in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Outstanding achievement worthy of great praise & admiration.
This Lady is a true Seawoman. She has style, class, looks, and guts. Heck, she even rescued a fellow competitor during the race. The way she gave Minnehaha the first sip of champagne speaks volumes of the depth of this First Class Lady. She should be on the cover of Sport's Illustrated!!!!!!
Kirsten is so ń inspirasie en rolmodel vir so baie jongmense en vrouens. Baie geluk met hierdie fantastiese wen. Ons het jou vordering die heel tyd gevolg. Super super trots op jou. Jy is ń ystervrou
Looking this video brought me pure real joy: what a (positive) distance from the vulgar celebrations we see today for too many futile events! Congratulation to Kirten and thanks to Sail-World for sharing this video!
Its a Pitty that Don and co wernt the first boat out there to tell Kirsten She had Won . And caught it on Video. I appreciate what they do and have done . They need someone to take over the PR side of things
En su estancia ne El Muelle, de Gijón, Kirsten Neuschäfer, con su barco amarrado, se prepara para inciar esa vuelta almundo en solitario. Fue una suerte tener la ocasión de hablar con ella, tanto en el Real Club Astur de Regatas, como en el puerto. Debemos felicitarla por su triunfo en el G.G.R.2022. Siendo la única mujer del mundo que lo ha logrado.
Tracy Edwards , Jessica Watson and now Kirsten Neuschafer….all these amazing women proving that they are just as good if not better sailors Well done ! 🇬🇧
What an incredible solo ocean racing achievement by Kirsten and not a word from 'cyril the spineless' or the useless minister of sports! Not even front page news for our country to celebrate Kirsten's win! It's definitely because she's white! Now had she been black, man oh man, would the racist anc have made a day of this one. Well done Kirsten and even if our racist anc government cannot see your amazing feat, I along with other decent South Africans can. Congratulations!
Based on the interview and Don's read of the fuel consumption she gets no penalities. She was given a fuel compensation when she sailed to help save Tapio. Basically the only fuel she used was during that rescue mission,
Well,if i had a hat,ik take him off en make a deep bow........ Real sailorship,no show! Amazing in these days off nitwit sailingchannels on you tube! ( yes maya broeke)
This should be on all the main TV channels , well done lady .
Agreed. I think it insane that no one is talking about it.
What an achievement. The race was for most of the 8 months totally ignored by the South African media. Congratulations, Kirsten. You mad an old man cry of joy. So very little here to be proud of.
Congratulations Kirsten, from every one in South Africa we are really proud of you, much love. Weereens Veels geluk, jy verdien dit.
Typically nonchalant in character. Amazing woman!

Wow! Such an amazing feat for this woman! Brave is an understatement. Congratulations Kirsten!

Bravo Kirsten!!!
Would be cool if she could have a sponsor that could pay off the debts she has for the boat so she could own it free and clear.
Get her an IMOCA 60!

Well done!!!
Now wait for Abilash and compare diesel consumption and hopefully celebrate Kirsten's deserved win.
What do you mean ?
@@scottgenius9189 There will be a recalculated time considering penalties for fuel usage during the race.
Based on the interview and Don's read of the fuel consumption she gets no penalities. She was given a fuel compensation when she sailed to help save Tapio. Basically the only fuel she used was during that rescue mission,
@@harryhicock3160 yup that's correct
Where were the Flowers to greet her!???!!!!!!!
Wow congratulations 🎉
Veels geluk Kirsten, mag die wind jou seile vol hou vorentoe!
Wow!
